Aurora Medium LED Marker Lights (36-76mm Dia)
This category of Aurora outdoor lights details a comprehensive range of medium sized recessed marker lights that measure between 36mm and 76mm in diameter. Each light fixture is constructed of high grade stainless steel with an IP65 or IP68 rating, both of which are weather proofed against all the elements can throw at them; the IP68 rated light is also submersible up to a depth of 1m, so you can add pond illumination to your creative effects.

Aurora Marker Lights come in halogen and LED formats, such as MR8, MR16, GU10 and MR11 in wattages ranging from a 1W LED to a 50 Watt halogen bulb. The benefits of LED over halogen light sources include an 85% reduction in energy consumption and an extended life of 30,000 hours. However, both light sources create crisp bright light output and excellent colour replication. The choice of colour temperatures is diverse including the innovative Colour Changing light that emits a host of different colours and effects, alongside white, daylight, warm white and blue. These marker lights are perfect for decks, borders, steps, soffits, pathways and patios and the IP68 rated light is ideal for coastal areas due to its anti –corrosive coating.
A dimmer switch is used to control the brightness of light by changing the voltage waveform applied to the lamp, originally for halogen and incandescent lamps but recently also includes CFLs and LEDs. When selecting a dimmer for LED and CFL lamps it is important to consider the total wattage of the lamps to be controlled and select a dimmer switch that that has a lower limit of less than the total wattage of the lamps.
Colour temperature, sometimes refered to as CCT (correlated colour temperature), is simply a method of describing the colour characteristics of a light bulb. Colour temperatures range from low (warm/yellowish) type colours all the way up to high (white/bluish) light.
Colour temperature is measured in "Kelvin" which is explained in more detail below. More information can be found on our colour temperatures example page.
